A rhodium(ii)-catalyzed coupling of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, prepared from 1-alkynes and sulfonyl azides, with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts afforded highly functionalized α-methylene-δ-oxo-γ-amino esters in excellent yields with broad functional group tolerance. This transformation can also be successfully accomplished as a multicomponent all-in-one-pot reaction of 1-alkynes, sulfonyl azides and MBH adducts in the presence of Cu(i) and Rh(ii) catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
